...and right away, pass interference on Ohio State.

Let them play, eh?

During the time of the 4 team playoff, I believe that there was an unwritten rule, but I could be wrong. 2 losses eliminated a team from the playoff. With the 12 team field, should 3 losses eliminate a team?

This is a cool story. Mt Union is a perennial national champion contender in their division. They are in Alliance Ohio and have about 2,500 kids, total. Larry Kehres retired as head coach in 2013 with a record of 332–24–3. His son, Vince, became their head coach until 2019 and left to become DC at the University of Toledo (Defending MAC Champion and had a first round draft pick last season). Now under head coach Jeff Dart, since 2019, this team hasn't lost a regular season game since 2005 and Dart has never lost a regular season game. They are 9-0 going into the playoffs.

On a side note, their arch enemy has been Wisconsin Whitewater. Also of note is that Wisconsin Whitewater won two national championships, both times beating Mount Union in the Stagg Bowl, with our one Andy Koteinicki. (he then followed the head coach to Buffalo and then to Kansas).

Clear but only a high of 30 degrees.

Oregon State @ Boise State (Fox)
Oklahoma State @ Colorado (ABC)

Both to be played @ 11 AM, EST (????)

Dodd; "Penn States loss to Ohio State was non competitive". Unreal. Down 20-13 2 yards away from tying a game in which PSU had the ball twice inside the Ohio State 5 yard line and didn't get a point, and this clown claims "non competitive". Eat $hit.

The fact that the World Series this year featured the Dodgers and Yankees was no coincidence. Look at MLB payrolls. In the future, will the top CFB teams be the ones that have a billionaire sugar daddy?

Doesn't include the BJC tickets yet, nor the American dual.

Has Maryland received a bunch of injuries....just not playing well. I knew that they were stumbling coming into this weekend.....but us being 4 touch down favorites was higher than expected.


It seems like they had been recruiting fairly well....but the results this year do not seem very good.

Seats together in EEU, 50-yard line. Paper tickets. Preferred parking in Lot 32. Chair backs. Tickets $50 each, parking $40. Text 202-494-0740 if interested. Thanks.

Forgive me if I missed it, but has there been any discussion about the play where it looked like Allar was trying to call time out, but they didn't grant it to him. I thought it was part of the play to make it LOOK like he was trying to call timeout and confuse the defense, but then he was so upset after the play that must not have been the case. I was hoping they would ask CJF about it in the post-game press conference, but it doesn't look like they did.

Thoughts on that play from the AKB?

Penn State Wrestling Fans!!!!!!!!!!



We are a couple weeks into the season now as we head into Thanksgiving break and the guys are progressing well. We had an opportunity to watch 13 different guys compete two weekends ago between the All-Star match and the dual against Drexel so that was good to see. This past weekend we were able to watch 22 of our guys compete in 3-5 matches at the Westpoint Invitational so that was another opportunity to find areas that we can continue to improve on as we head into our next couple duals.



We were able to start the season with a bang on November 16 as we were fortunate enough to host the All-Star classic again and have five of our guys challenge themselves against very tough opponents. It was great to see all the guys compete, but it was particularly fun to watch Shayne compete again after missing last season with an injury. Our guys wrestled hard but most importantly gathered a lot of information and they will be even better the next time they meet these opponents. All our guys will continue to progress and adjust as the season moves along but it was also good to see where they are right now.https://gopsusports.com/news/2024/11/16/nittany-lions-roar-at-nwca-all-star-exhibition



On Sunday November 16th we hosted Drexel, and it was a good opportunity for a couple of our young guys to get some experience. We had another great sell out crowd and won 9 of the 10 matches. Even though some of our guys were not super pumped about their performance 6 of our 10 scored bonus points and a couple others figured out how to win close matches. Even when you are not feeling your best or something happens in a match, being able to adjust and figure it out is a very important skill as well. https://gopsusports.com/news/2024/1...roll-to-41-3-win-over-drexel-in-season-opener



This past weekend we were at West Point and saw a lot of great stuff from our team. As we always preach, it is not necessarily about winning but how we are winning is more important down the road than just winning. When we say that we mean are you continuing to try to score even when you are up in points, or there is a chance you could make a mistake, or you are tired, etc. That is what is meant by how you are winning. Obviously, everybody wants to win but there is a higher standard, and we have a bunch of guys that have bigger goals then just squeaking out wins during the season so it was good that they were continuing to try to score points this past weekend regardless of the score. https://gopsusports.com/news/2024/11/24/nittany-lion-wrestlers-roar-at-black-knight-invitational

We now give the guys a couple days off for Thanksgiving then we come back and get ready to head to Lehigh next weekend. Lehigh always has a tough team, so it gives our guys something to look forward to as they head into next week. After Lehigh we are at home again for the last time of the semester against Wyoming on December 15th and then head to Nashville on December 22nd to finish the semester with 3 more duals. It has been a good start to the season as this team is fun to watch and we look forward to the next month as we finish out the semester with some very good duals coming up. This is a special team with some very talented guys so any chance you get to watch these guys take advantage of it because this season will come and go fast. Thank you for all the support, Happy Thanksgiving, and we will see you soon.
